A ceramic artist based in Fukuoka Prefecture. An encounter with ceramicist Tamaki Ito during his career as a designer led him to pursue pottery. He now works in a studio-residence in Fukuoka that once belonged to Ito's father. Using white slip and bronze glaze as his primary materials, he employs a variety of forming techniques to create textures that are at once rough and delicate. His works range from tableware to planters.
